In an open letter directed to “friends and especially foreign journalists and editors”, renowned Ukrainian writer Yuri Andrukhovych states that it is those in Ukraine’s highest leadership that deserve to be labelled extremists, not the protestors on the streets. Yanukovych has brought the country to its limits and to stop protest now would be to live in a permanent prison.
